    Both parties have little to be proud of in their candidates

    ROFLMAO. I'll take the space cadet socialist and the shrill professional pol over the sentient briskets the Repubs have fielded any day of the week, thanks.

    fired

    Hey, if you want to play in a fantasy league even if you don't have to, that's fine by me.

    6,000+ years of sexism

    That's just bullshit. We had matriarchal societies as recently as 1500 years ago, you don't have to carry the other 4500 years.

    That's like the perfect euphemism for a slashdotter. I might steal that in the future.

    You're mostly right. Most of these jackoffs complaining about being censored or oppressed are just are really just complaining about not being able to say whatever comes to mind and suffering zero criticism for it.

    I can guess which side most of the middle-class white males here will fall.

    It's worse than that: Technocrat middle class white males, the persecuted minority within a persecuted minority.

    Look, I'm not going to take sides between you and Jhon on whether God is a dick or not.

    Good, because that's not what this is about. I never said God IS a dick. I just think it's reasonable, as a human, to think so. I also think it's reasonable to assume I'm not the only person who feels this way. How you see this as back-pedaling is beyond me.

    No, you're still not getting it. I'm not talking about God or trying to anthropomorphize him. I'm talking about human reactions to a being who would do things that most humans would consider beyond the pale.

    Yes, according to theology, God is unknowable, but that doesn't automatically dismiss genuine human feeling on the subject just because we're technically unqualified to do so.

    It's pointless to try and explain any HUMANS mind as well.

    Sure, let's just throw entire fields of scientific endeavour out the window. Makes sense.

    You might be right, but from a human perspective, God can really be a colossal dick.

    Yeah, slashdot's a horrible place for empathy. Go out into the world and the libs/cons you'll find there are slightly more human.
